Even with all his late to date posturing, after reading much of what BP and other oil experts are doing, I believe their is little that the marxist could do anyway. I despise the man, but really, what could he do? Seize BP American assets? What good what that do? Force them into bankruptcy? ...where BP no longer has the cash flow to fix things? Shees, people are so stupid.

This is a foreign owned company, with numerous engineers trying to work the problem. Anyone who thinks that BP doesn't want to fix this to rebuid their status and financial viability is working on emotions.

BP wants to fix this. Can you imagine the conversations with their largest share-holders, board of directors, officers that goes on every day? Anyone who thinks BP, Transocean, Adarko, Halliburton, and others don't really want to fix this problem is clueless. They want this to go away. ASAP. There are too many ordinary people who have been dependent on BP dividends. They know this.

It will be resolved eventually, and the companies involved which give us the oil that fuels our economic machine will just be another footnote in history, much like Valdez was. Bank on it!

Plus, all this talk today about BP thinking bankruptcy is just that - talk. BP is the fourth largest company in the entire world. They make dozens of billions per year, and have huge cash reserves. They will fix this mess, and persevere, and turn into the one of the greatest buying opportunities ever seen. Mark my words.

It would have been far easier and cheaper to contain and cleanup the spill on site rather than do nothing and let it spread and hit the mainland as it soon will. Just imagine what would have happened if FEMA had to wait on the sidelines 51 days until it could go into New Orleans.

It means giving the ok to build the sand berms 4 weeks ago. Giving the ok to Dutch skimmers and other countries offering help. Getting all hands on deck. Everyone involved in the cleanup is doing their best, but 20 times the number of people involved would mean a result that is 20 times better.
